Michael Deardorff Obituary

Michael Allen Deardorff, 65, of Westminster, passed away on July 28, 2019 at his home. Born on February 2, 1954 in Westminster, he was the son of the late Herbert and Jean Long Deardorff. Michael was a proud veteran of the United States Navy. He graduated from Westminster High School and worked as a janitor for McDaniel College for over 20 years before retiring. His biggest passion in life was his relationship with God. Michael was a faithful, and devoted member of Church 3.0 in Westminster and attended services every Sunday. He was a kind and giving person who loved music and playing the guitar. Michael is survived by his loving daughter Kandacei Jones and husband Eric of Westminster; granddaughters Madison and Anna Jones; former spouse Judy Howard; brother Tim Deardorff; and niece Sydney Deardorff. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his son Ryan Deardorff. A memorial service will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, August 3, 2019 at Church 3.0., 65 E. Main St, Westminster. All are welcome to come and pay final respects. Interment will be private.

I heartily agree to Mom's sentiments (Karen Berner). If I could see you now Uncle Mike, I would say I'm sorry I didn't make the time to do music with you again after we did about 10-11 years ago. It was so great recording a song together, having those jam sessions, and having some great worship services at different churches together. Keep practicing in Heaven and be prepared to teach me more guitar! Be prepared to make beautiful music together! And enjoy your new legs and your young and pain free body! Love you lots! Sarah

You said God was going to give you your legs back. Now you can run Mike. Run through those golden streets, beautiful fields of swaying blue green grass, jump for joy when you find your son, swim fiercely in the crystal clear living waters, walk humbly into the presence of God and your legs will never tire. Now God is no longer a mystery because you see clearly. You will not miss family or friends on earth but they will miss you immensely, but that is only for a very short time because life on earth is like a vapor! Then those that believe in God shall join you. Until then, Mike, adios amigos. Peace out my brother!
